Promoting the Spirit of Perseverance
Xi Jinping first highlighted the importance of perseverance at the second plenary session of the 18th CPC Central Committee in February 2013. He compared this quality to what is required to drive nails. More often than not, you cannot drive a nail into its right place in one go. Effective nailing requires repeated precision hammering. And to put your project in place, you have to repeat the same process of precision hammering many times. Failing that, you will end up with a shoddy project that is likely to fall apart any time. Since that meeting, Xi has on many occasions emphasized the virtue of perseverance.
Perseverance requires a combination of a pragmatic and down-to-earth approach to tackling challenges and a keen understanding of any underlying problems and the larger context. It is a mindset that is key to overcoming heavy odds and winning an uphill battle. Having the perseverance to hammer away until a task is done – this is one way of conduct and a clear-cut attitude to work.
釘釘子精神
在2013年2月召開的中共十八屆二中全會上，習(xí)近平首次對釘釘子精神進行了詳細(xì)闡述：我們要有釘釘子的精神，釘釘子往往不是一錘子就能釘好的，而是要一錘一錘接著敲，直到把釘子釘實釘牢，釘牢一顆再釘下一顆，不斷釘下去，必然大有成效。如果東一榔頭西一棒子，結(jié)果很可能是一顆釘子都釘不上、釘不牢。此后習(xí)近平多次強調(diào)釘釘子精神。釘釘子精神就是要真抓實干，要求做實做細(xì)做好各項工作，其蘊含的是知行合一、務(wù)實重行的理念，攻堅克難、敢于擔(dān)當(dāng)?shù)男拍睢０l(fā)揚釘釘子精神既是一種工作方法，更是一種工作態(tài)度。
